I spent the last 15 years working in healthcare IT, primarily as a Project Manager and also as a Knowledge Manager where I oversaw all the documentation for various departments.

I am currently attending Washtenaw Community College, working toward my Associate’s in Technical Communications. I haven’t decided if I want to continue on for a Bachelor’s or see if my combination of education and experience will be sufficient in the job market.

Once I finish school, I would like to achieve a remote position working as a Technical Writer, developing and maintaining knowledge documentation for internal use by companies. I have also thought I may look into doing some consultative work eventually and see if there is a need for someone who can come in and help a company/department develop a knowledge management solution from scratch or help them clean up their existing documentation and review protocols.

My mom is probably the single most important figure in my life. Being that she was a single mom and I am an only child, we kind of leaned on each other a lot throughout life and I feel extremely lucky to have her as my mom.

My grandparents are two of the most important people in my life. They turned 90 and 92 this year and are both still as busy as can be. They have taught me so much about what it means to be a good, honest person.

In November of 2017, I was in a bad accident and unfortunately lost my right leg as a result. Now, I use a wheelchair primarily to get around. I did get a prosthetic last year, but have been too weak to work with it.

Last Spring, I was diagnosed with leukemia and currently on an oral form of chemo that I have to take daily. While there isn’t a cure for the form of leukemia I have, I am grateful to have treatment options that provide me longevity to hopefully life a long, full life.

This is my beautiful, number one girl, Nellie. I adopted her in the summer of 2018 after losing my leg. She has been the thing that gets me out of bed every morning for the past 4 years.

This is my newest addition to my family, 5 month old, Clementine. I adopted her just a month ago and she has been SO much fun and SO much work for Nellie and I, but we are beginning to settle in and absolutely love having her as part of our family.❤️
